Plano man keeping Blockbuster alive

When Netflix had the star system, I would get amazing recommendations. I would get a good feeling every time I opened Netflix because I was almost guaranteed a quality movie I would like. After Netflix moved onto thumbs up/down it was never the same and when Netflix started promoting their own shows, it got worse. I'm at the point where I hardly even watch it though I can't say the same for my kids.

I miss the comments the most. Seeing why someone rated something a certain way.

Another trip down memory lane. Remember when you could comment on other people's amazon comments? Those comments were the best. I would often scroll through comments until I came to one with a long chain of replies. Then I would really have a good insight on what I may purchase.

Compounded by moving away from massive dvd back catalog to limited streaming options. Not only are the recommendations worse but there is significantly less for them to recommend.
